A GOLBORNE pensioner is kicking herself after being conned by a doorstep salesman.

A pity someone isn't booting the cowboys who robbed her of her savings.

She was impressed by the Irish brogue of the smart salesman and by the number of new, flashy, signwritten vans which zoomed to her home.

But after she handed over £600 the workmen disappeared with the job only half done. Needless to say when she called their mobile number it was unobtainable.

It's a sad think to say but for goodness sake when will the more trusting older generation learn not to be so gullible?
